My wife and I rarely cook turkey for Thanksgiving. This year we’re coming Cornish hens. In previous years we’ve cooked duck, leg of lamb, and rib roast. It’s not that we don’t like turkey, but there are lots of other things that I think I’d prefer eating....
It’s not just that. It’s about oil & gas too. Ukraine is gar friendlier to the US and the EU. They also has the ability to sever Europe’s need for Russian energy.
It’s right wing populism. It’s the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it’s too chaotic. But that’s what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He’s a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.
The mother helped to induce an abortion past 20 weeks and then they worked together to conceal the remains. Pre-Dobbs, this still would have been illegal. This would have been illegal across most of Europe. Nebraska law at the time put the limit at 20 weeks for an abortion.
She had plenty of time. When we’re going into the 5 month territory, you know you’re pregnant. They had the opportunity to do this the right way.
The only downside I can see to this is that now everyone is going to be wearing orange shirts, for an orange man, depicting his pale fucking face, and it will be awful.
I might be pulling this out of my ass, but I somehow recall that some of the wizard abilities in D3 implied telekinesis. Which then implies that psychics could be real. I think you could combine it with some aspects of like 1800s spiritualism or aesthetic mysticism to nail down the theme.
I think it would fit right in to the gritty world D4 has made. Maybe be a sect of Ivgorod, which gives us a reason to go there for the first time and maybe back to Arreat to re-settle the clans.
Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention how it could be so environmentally interactive. Like telekinetically throwing random environmental objects at enemies or slamming enemies against walls in tight spaces.
For some reason this also made me think that whips should be a weapon class. Rogues, the psychic, & sorc could use them.
ROME, July 23 (Reuters) - Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who will visit the White House on Thursday, said that U.S. President Joe Biden had never challenged her on the issue of Rome being part of the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)....
Specifically, the GOP fearmongers most. The Dems are much more internationally & diplomatically inclined when compared to their political opponents.
Tinfoil Hat Time: I think the separatism in the US is being stoked by outside forces. If you read a summary of The Foundations of Geopolitics it sounds very familiar to what’s happening. I also think Social Media needs to go, or rather engagement driven algorithms, because they create informational bubbles that polarize society.
Also, don’t forget that Ukraine has sihnificant oil & gas reserves in the East as well as contributing an enormous amount to the world’s food supply. Having the chance to get those things in the hands of a far friendlier country, I think NATO will put a lot of effort into getting Ukraine solidly on our side.
Recently, India launched the Chandrayaan-3 lunar probe. If all goes well, it will land on the moon’s south pole in late August. The mission comes after the failure of Chandrayaan-2 to land on the lunar surface....
This one I’m not sure, but the NC one was done by a far-right conspiracy believer. It’s also been done by some of the far-right militias that have popped up in the last decade.
They do it because they think it’ll destabilize the country and start a civil war. One they want to win so they can inflict their ideology on everyone nationwide, whether it’s wanted or not.
President Vladimir Putin said Russia had a “sufficient stockpile” of cluster bombs and reserved the right to use them if such munitions, the use of which he said he regarded as a crime, were deployed against Russian forces in Ukraine....
Distracted? I dunno. Russian propagandists/bots seems more likely.
Even at the bar I tend, filled with “conservatives” that think Donald was cheated out of the election, there isn’t anyone who believes Russia is in the right.
That being said, if the issue is traffic slowing down, then you put up a monument between the highway and Stonehenge that blocks drivers’ view. Could easily be a monument to the Celtic and Gallic history of England. Something nondescript from the road’s side.
If the issue is the amount of traffic, then regulated entry is the way. Put stoplights at the highway’s entry and only let several on at a time.
So maybe the huge worry people had after the news that WHO would classify it as cancerous was a little too much. I think the media could have reported on it in a bit more responsible way.
Won’t effect the US, even if it causes cancer. EU has prohibited food additives which are carcinogenic, but we don’t because the poor, poor food producers might have to pay farmers more and pay a couple pennies to make food that doesn’t kill people.
